Broken Rules has announced that it is bringing its critically acclaimed title Old Man's Journey to Switch.
Described as a story of "loss and hope", the game places you in the well-worn shoes of the titular OAP as he begins a hike which will allow him to reconnect with his past. Currently rated at 9/10 on Steam, this is a painfully beautiful game which will almost certainly be a solid addition to the Switch's growing indie library.
Broken Rules doesn't have a solid release date yet, but say it's coming "soon". Let us know if you'll be downloading this one when it hits the eShop by posting a comment below.

Never heard of it but you can call me interested at the very least.
I like the look of this... a lot!
Great news! Old Man’s Journey is a gorgeous adventure and will be great on Switch!
Great! I loved "And Yet It Moves" from Broken Rules on the Wii.
I loved playing this on my phone, might even double dip just for the bigger screen.
2D platformer ?
@Akropolon Me too! I loved it on my iPhone, but I’ll still be double dipping.
@Anti-Matter No. It's an 2D adventure.
Is it a point and click or something?
I thought from the headline that the game was called 'The Gorgeous Old Man's Journey'.
Too sad for me!
@Damo You guys should put a news story up. A guy on Twitter thinks he cracked the direct code. Chibi robot and the mii in a hotdog suit from tomadachi life were both in directs that weren’t announced. Go to press start’s website they have a story about it
This looks cool. I want more info though.
I am actually an old man who walks all over the place. I like the idea of being an old man walking all over the place, going home and then playing an old man walking all over the place.
Day one for me.
Amazing! This is my type of indie game. Day 1 as well. So pretty and the music is lovely.
Very much looking forward to this one.
This isn't typically my style of game, but this looks interesting.
Looks beautiful!
